A Central Bucks West High School guidance counselor will not face criminal charges for making an online threat to shoot protesters if they stopped her son from getting to a Philadelphia Eagles game on Dec. 7, according to the Montgomery County District Attorney's Office.

Marykate Blankenburg, 37, of Upper Gwynedd previously told the newspaper that she hadn't posted the message to Facebook, but that her son may have gotten hold of her iPad while she was teaching Sunday school. But during the series of interviews with Montgomery County detectives and Upper Gwynedd police, Blankenburg admitted that she was the one who created the post and then deleted it, county District Attorney Risa Vetri Ferman said Wednesday in a statement.

The counselor's Facebook post stated: "If my child cannot get to the Eagles game due to protesters, I will personally SHOOT every one of them. You've been warned idiots!!"

The post referenced not only the football game on Dec. 7, but also the large group of protesters who staged a 4½-minute "die-in" demonstration following the Eagles home game in South Philadelphia in response to the decision not to indict police officers in shootings in Ferguson, Missouri, and Staten Island, New York.

While she characterized the threat by Blankenburg as "ill-advised," Ferman said in her statement that the counselor's post to Facebook "does not rise to the level of a crime. The totality of the circumstances reveals that the comment made by Blankenburg was short-sighted and inappropriate, but not made with the requisite criminal intent to terrorize, alarm, harass, annoy, or otherwise cause a serious public inconvenience."

The statement also noted that Blankenburg's family does not own any firearms.

Blankenburg was suspended with pay by the school district earlier this month while authorities were investigating.

Neither Blankenburg nor David Weitzel, Central Bucks School superintendent, could be reached for comment.

While she initially denied making the threat, the statement says Blankenburg admitted her role to police:

"The investigation revealed that Blankenburg did in fact create the Facebook posting, that the post was shared by others connected to Blankenburg through Facebook, and that the post was deleted by Blankenburg shortly after it was created. Blankenburg was cooperative with investigators and acknowledged that the posting was not appropriate. She was both apologetic and remorseful about her actions."
